Rumors have been quick to swirl around Lotus and its CEO, Dany Bahar, this year including speculation that trouble with the company brewed beneath the surface. Those rumors were repeatedly dismissed, but now the word is out: Bahar has been temporarily suspended.

Apparently Lotus’ parent company DRB-Hicom passed the decision down because of complaints about his conduct, leading to a temporary suspension. For now, he has been replaced, though further details about what exactly that misconduct was are out of reach. All else aside, it seems likely that something big is going to hit the fan very soon.

We’ll be keeping you posted.
